Only problem that PDF is for how to the S/C. I believe he is going Turbo and wants to know how to run the Oil line and Return line.

Basically its easy. Just tape off the Oil Pressure Sensor, put a T there, and run a line from there to the turbo. Then from there there are two ways people have been doing it and will debate back and forth about it. From there you want to run your Oil return line to either the upper oil pan or lower oil pan. Upper is going to be much harder to do, lower is easier. People say upper is the best for reason of how the oil flows and the fact that you want the oil to return to the pan above the oil level, not below.

That helped a little but i have already read it and it doesnt apply that much to a turbo. Also i couldnt see where i would place a return line, but i am guessing that the SC doesnt have one.

Is there a way to tap into the oil pan twice without drilling a second hole? I know of the one place but thats it.
